It's easy to make the misconception that art has to be extremely flashy in order to look good. While the poster itself may not be bombarded with sparkles and light orbs like any other poster, a lot of care was put into making sure it was pleasant to look at. Many subtle changes were made but to someone unexperienced, it's hard to miss those subtle details in favor of big drastic sparkle effects.

You don't see a poster the way an artist sees it.

We may have very different opinions on what we consider "tiara-esque" and that also boils down to personal taste. It's okay to feel like something is not to your personal taste. But even if something is not to your personal taste, it's not the same as accusing someone of not putting effort into their craft.

What I'm trying to say is: Art means different things to different people. Art is so great because we get to see how different people explore the freedom of expressing something through art. We may not agree on certain aspects of it, but that in itself is also a part of art. The biggest disrespect you can give an artist, however, is that they didn't put any effort into their work.

Like other characters, yes, Shana is moe from our views. But for herself, maybe she'd never have an idea that she needs to be more moe to win something. All she'll do is fighting. Shana is just such a baka. And considering Shana's struggles in isml and that she already has many moe posters, I think this one best describes her at this time. When looking it, I feel like my blood is burning, my eyes misting...

The biggest question to all of is: Who are we going to have to fill in the Shana voters who may have left now that the deed is done?

I do believe Ren has the potential to do as well as Tomori Nao did this year and achieve Top 16. The problem here is that she probably would still fall to the likes of Yukinoshita Yukino and possibly Shiina Mashiro (I think she's starting to fall out, but considering she is still Top 8 material, not by that much). And this is assuming there's not going to be another Fate Series or Prism Illya show happening at all next year, which seems unlikely. But an increase in voter activity and participation is better than none.

Shana fans may want their revenge against Misaka Mikoto

I'm not sure if I should say many or a decent amount, her fans helped Shana this time (not restricted in the Mainland, also people for example MC, avery). Time is a great thing, I don't think there are any (by any I mean not too few) of us still really possessing that feeling.
